These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In the interim period, lower crude oil sales volumes amid the conflict in the Middle East reduced revenue, while higher selling prices, yen depreciation, lower income taxes and other taxes, and strong production at Ichthys LNG boosted profit. The upward revision to the full-year forecast reflects higher selling prices and the solid production performance of Ichthys LNG.
